Black Event & Experiential Marketers
A resource to support & encourage diverse partnerships & vendor procurement
A resource to support & encourage diverse partnerships & vendor procurement
The Black Event & Experiential Marketers (BEEM) list is a vetted open resource to support diverse procurement and hiring practices by highlighting Black Owned businesses and professionals.
Too often we found that these businesses and professionals were not being seen or found –
or that was the excuse being given by the stark lack of diversity shown within many brand and agency spaces.
An Opportunity to Diversify
Your Supplier Chain
The BEEM List supports diversity within the experiential Industry and highlights Black Owned businesses, agencies and freelance professionals in the field.
Identifying the many creatives across all communities is a first step. Now, we must tackle the necessary conversations and collaborations that will ensure that there are tangible and stated platform goals for diversity and equity.
